Thirdform's List!

[luka]

to give that album a fair chance i'd have to listen at ear splitting volume and i dont think im really up for that

 

[forclosure]

getting me to listen to that i guess is the exact equivalent of forcing catalog to listen to rap music

i mean i can give you something else if you want, i thought you wanted to tap into that "noise complaint" energy

 

[luka]

no i dont really tbh, they seem nice. young Somali couple. these flats you can kind of hear every move your neighbours make.

 

[Corpsey]

Craner has managed to find almost 2/3rds of third's list and put it on Spotify. I was listening last night, really great stuff. Only the odd 'obvious' anthem (whereas my top 100 would practically be a Now! CD).

27) François Bayle -- Les Couleurs de la nuit

The depths of electroacoustics. Initially sounding like a high tech laundrette in a philip k dick novel travelling backwards in time, and then the acid hits and everything dissolves. disorienting, apocalyptic, synaesthetic, confusing. the purist distillation of his work. the cogs of virtual reality in aural form. echoes of bygone worlds.

just listened to this again. a masterpiece.

[Murphy]

Up to Terry Riley, fair few surprises so far

 

[plexitmind]

Are there links for other members that did these lists back in 2019?

 

[yyaldrin]

there's these ones by version and craner but there's some more really good ones that i can't remember the title of https://dissensus.com/index.php?threads/15620/ & https://dissensus.com/index.php?threads/14556/

61) Horsepower Productions - Gorgon Sound

Whatever you may think of the later so-called dubstep movement, this tune and in fine style deserve to be evaluated on their own merits. jazzual dub. a rare feet. the dubsteppers were right, this is basic channel meets garage. too bad that the underground dubstep movement after 2009 ended up fetishising Jamaica, long after that island had been hollowed and airbrushed out by the corporations and petty capitalist warlords.

Been listening to this over and over for a few days. Look forward to browsing your list more but help me out with more tunes like this and same era? I also loved the HP track on the No U Turn sub-label. If I’m going to start leaning into the gentrified vibes I may as well seek council from someone who loves jungle but has broad enough taste to recognize excellence elsewhere

Notebook for a mix I'm gonna put together in the near future of that kind of protean dubstep-breakstep-grime, all selects from 2001

 

[other_life]

there's a couple acid stormers in there too but they're also from the UK in the year 2001 and would probably blend well with the other things, related to the tack of third's list also

This is a good one by Benny Ill from Horsepower.

this isn't strictly proto-dubstep, leans quite heavily into dark garage, but here's a compilation I made for someone a few years back.

(mc vapour voice) I'm trapped in the deep dark garridge

90) SMF - Twisted Bungle

Drexciya in landan town. one of the strangest records to come out of the 92-94 explosion. encapsulates soulful sophistication and sheer headfuck perfectly.

still one of the best records ever made.

 

[.....]

28) X-103 - Eruption

Well you know I'm like a pendulum. As soon as things get too yoga-y i immediately have to tilt to the other extreme. jeff mills' most rushiest track. other world forming. the soul of detroit for me.

63) Dizzee Rascal - U Can't Tell Me Nuffin'

Egyptology on the estate.

The intro to this (my favourite discovery from this list actually this tune) isn't a million miles away from some of the most satisfyingly boneheaded 8-bar, proto-grime bits.

I know the Dizzee tune probably isn't quite the same as what @luka was thinking, but it fit better than other tunes in your list like Ruff Sqwad.

Anyway, I just had to give it a go.
success? hmm, I don't know, but some parts sound good
